Robinhood Early Access Review

For those of you who haven’t been keeping up with the latest in technology and business news, there is a new app called“Robinhood” that is rocking the investment world. It’s a stock broker that distinguishes itself from its competition by offering commision-free trading.

I’ve had the privilege of using Robinhood before most people have been given the chance. Here are my key takeaways:

→ The app is slick, and easy to use. Very fluid and enjoyable.

→ The support staff constantly interacts with their small/growing user base. They respond to emails, and have an active Twitter accountthat people can get in contact with.

→ Placing trades is easy. You can set limits, and market trades are near instant.

→ Overall, if the company can stay afloat financially, it should shake up investing for our generation. It will be hard to go back to paying commissions once you use this.
